Yawning Portal’s ‘Minute Sun’ seeps slowly into earshot, grainy atmospheres pouring over guitar melodies that wind up the composition. Ethereal croons ebb over the instrumentation, expanding into full-blown soundscapes crest in slow-motion. The score evokes a vision of light seen through darkness, imparting a haunting and otherworldly feeling that trails off into the abyss.**
